Milk Carton Birdfeeders





After watching a how to on Nick Jr. online my daughter just had to make this bird feeder! It was really quite simple and fun.

Here's the link for the directions.


We did our own thing but it was the same idea. We glued cloth to our carton and then cut a hole in the front for the birds. Then I poked a little hole to slide a kiddie chop stick through for a birdie perch. Our carton had a lid that screwed off so I poked a little hole in the center of the lid to string a ribbon through, screwed it back on and hung it from a tree.

I don't really think our bird house will brave the elements so I filled it with bird seed just to make the kids happy and hung it up outside for a little while and took pictures. Sorry birds!!! Our bird feeder was just for kicks and to fill and afternoon with something besides TV.
